Talk at the time was the bike would not be reliable but Norton and Hizzy proved them wrong.

Brian chrighton is going to prepare them as there is ment to be more than one.

Is this more than the originally planned 'parade lap' then?

Hi all

its a parade lap, put simply you cant build a f1 engine from new parts, the tt engines had direct oil feeds to the rotor bearings,  the origonal gearbox is not a owo1 as often thought it was similar designe but the pitch ext is differant.

In short you would need deep pockets to race a RC, Rcw or Nrs, one other thought crosses my mind, when steve first rode  the bike he said it was unriderble as Ron had it, after the tt Jefferies, Rymer and Halam rode the bike, is it realy back as hislop rode it, its definatly got rons yamaha master cylinder not the hrc master cylinder that hislop used. Below is a very rare picture a Norton how any 19 bikes? its pre tt i recon as non of the tanks have the union jack
